Yamaha is all set launch to FZ-16 on 13th September. By this time tommorrow, you would be reading about the launch of Fz-16. But we always wish to inform you first, here are few insider information you love to read.
* FZ-16 would be one of the very few street bikes available in India.
* The FZ1 inspired headlamps and meaty tank of FZ-16 will make others 150cc feel shy
* To compliment the masculine front, FZ-16 features the bulbous exhaust and fender mounted rear lamp (similar to Bullet)
* FZ-16 is powered by an air cooled, SOHC, 153cc engine
* The 2 Valve engine respires through carburetor and features the Yamaha’s proven TPS (Throttle Position sensor)
* Toe only gear lever of FZ-16 is mounted on the sporty foot step holder follows the conventional 1-down and 4-up pattern.
* Both the tyres of the FZ-16 are tubeless.
* FZ-16 takes the credit becoming the first bike to feature tubeless radial tyres.
* Don’t complain about the R15’s lean rear tyre, the new FZ-16 gets widest rear tyre. 140/60-17 fattest isn’t it?
* Half chain cover and exposed chain will accentuate the rugged look of the FZ-16
* 267mm front disc brake, 41mm diameter front forks and mono cross suspension at the rear will ensure better driving dynamics of the FZ-16 .
* LCD speed would be an odd one for this monster. But again we love this feature and Yamaha wishes to blend the classic and modern.
